Dear shareholders, First of all, let us thank you for your appre- ciation, confidence and cooperation. The fiscal year 2009 is known worldwide as a year of an economic crisis. Despite the fears of an economic downturn in the world the telecommunications, the industry was not that much exposed to the crisis, mainly due to the increased demand for broadband services. It is a fact that during the past two years it has been very difficult to find the right ways for doing business and getting to success. These times call for new ways of doing the business in our daily lives, as we strive to achieve our goals with new, more adaptive solutions. Everybody is trying to cut the costs. In times like this, the Company must be flexible and adapt itself by introdu- cing innovations, products and services which are created primari- ly according to the customers’ needs and pockets.

We have carefully followed the market move- ments and the customers’ expectations and at the end of the day we can clearly state that we managed to keep the balance. Mobile communication is growing every day. Video and entertainment applications are pushing customers to buy more broadband services and telecom providers to create greater capacities. The market is driven by the customers’ demands and vice versa. It was a challenging, yet a productive year for the T brand in Macedonia. 98 Our objectives are as follows: What are the necessary preconditions to achieve the goals? · Progress as an actively operating company; · Clearly defined objectives; · Ensure customer centricity in all businesses and · Clearly defined responsibilities; supporting processes; · Solid execution and project control during the · Preserve/win competitiveness and quality in the implementation process; core businesses; · Short decision-making timeframes to support the process. · Integrate the IT and network processes.
